LUMBERMERCHANT

How Lrumber Lrooks

Seattle, Washington, March 13,1944-The u'eekly average of West Coast.lumber production in February (4 rveeks) was 163,921,000 board feet, or 103.7 per cent of 1940-1943 average, according to the West Coast Lumbermen's Association in its monthly sun'ev of the industry. Orders averaged 178,N2,000 board feet; shipments, 158,043,000. Weekly averages for January were: Production, 157,843,000 board feet (99.9 per cent of the 1940-1943 average) ; orders, 165.858,00O ; shipments, 1 53,280,000.

Fortune smiled again on the war production efforts of the West Coast lumber industry in February, with a continuing mild winter keeping the woods open and the mills supplied with logs. At the end of the month the industry was 39 per cent ahead of its production on the same date last year, or by 360,00O,000 board feet.

War requirements continue two or three jumps ahead of the sawmills, however; especially those for shipping lumber -box, crating, and the like. Estimated needs for the year in lumber required for packaging and shipping war items run to the giant figure of 17,000,000,00O (seventeen billion) board feet-exactly half of the national lumber industry's total estimated production for the year-

The general critical status of lumber has led the War Production Board to consider a rather.drastic form of rationing under which use of lumber will be restricted to a point that will keep well within available supply. This shapes up as the next big change in the lumber picture. Along with

direct *", ,r""'dr, those of farms, war housing and railroadt'i are paramount in that picture. Aim of the rationing prq; gram will be sure supply of lumber for essential civiliaa;; ,t- t: uses and war requirements together.

The Western Pine Association for the week ended Marehi 18, 110 mills' reporting, gave orders as 87,4O7 ,ffi feet, shipi-J ments 7O,239,W feet, and production &,373I/Ul_ feet.;:;:1 Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 400,101,00O;: feet.

Shine. softly, Alabama stars, tonight. May Southern skies be clear, your tender light Soft through magnolia, and the stately Pines, Shine on a tall young lad with sunny hair, His weary limbs outstretched in slumber there. Touch tenderly his brown young cheek and bring Him dreams of home. Tell him the night birds sing. Their plaintive notes along the blue lake's shore, Above the waves soft whispering o'er and o'er; Tell him that oncb again the roses bloom, Spreading their sweetness through his empty room; Short days ago he laid his books away, For.sterner lessons of a martial day, A strangq new world for him. With kindly light Shine softly, Alabama stars, tonight.

' (To a Chicago Soldier at Camp McClellan by Margaret D. in the Chicago Tribune') '

I offer the above as one of the sweetest poems to a soldier boy this war has produced. The war develops plenty of terrific doggerel, written by amateurs who mean well but lack the knack. But it'also inspires people occasionally to write such things as the little poenrr above, which is as clear and fine and inspiring as the "pure crystal fountain" that the old Irish song, "The Rose of Tra Lee" mentions.

Henry Clay said: "Government is a trust and the officers of the Government are trirstees; and both the trust and trustees are created for the benefit of the people." This is worth mulling over, because we live in times when it frequently seems from their words and deeds that many of our public servants have got the thing all wrong in their minds; have forgotten who is the servant, and who the master'*r<o"

Henry Clay said something else that should be in every American scrapbook: "I have heard something said about allegiance to the South. I know no South, no North, no East, no West, to which I owe any allegiance. Sir, I would rather be right than President !" flenry Clay was right a great deal of the time in his public acts and utterances, but he was never President, although one of the big men of our whole. history. It may be that his unrestrained hatred of Britain was one of his restrictions. No man ever hated the British more, or said it plainer.

A little town named Galloway Flat, in New Zealand, can probably lay splendid claim to one hundred per cent war devotion. This liftle hamlet sent twenty young men into their armed forces. At last report, nineteen of them were either killed, wounded, or captured, and the twentieth was

in the front lines fighting. Some place, ihat Galloway Flat ! .*,F*

Maybe you've heard of the harassed rookie who said that all he asked was a chance to drowq his troubles; only he couldn't coax the top sergeant in*swimming. :

And what, you may ask, is Leap Year? And why? Well' the Gregorian calendar which we use in computing time, consists not of 365 days in the year, but rather of 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 46 seconds in a year So every four years we have an extra day in February to take care of that extra quarter day left over in our computation of solar time. Get it?.

(From "The Oklahoman"): Farmer Grimes of Vinegar Bend should not gro\il too angryt when the government freezes the price of his spinach and potatoes with a ceiling and a subsidy, and then taxes Farmer Grimes to help pay the subsidy. That is just the govenrment's pet way of showing Farmer Grimes the workings of the more abundant life' {. * *

In the Old World where millions of men are locked in a death battle, famous historic names come into the picture and attract little or no attention in contrast to the great blood bath. For instance, when the Russians burst through their bondage at L€ningrad, qne of the first places thei recaptured was the town of Tsarskoye Selo. It meant little to most of us, and was forgotteir. Yet this, the former home of the Czars of Russia, was the first town in all Europe to be lighted by electricity (1887); and the first railroad ever builiin nussia was the one connectin! this town with St. Petersburg, now Leningrad. That was in 1836-37.

Speaking of Russia-al ;t lo"" t otl-Robert Quillen, who is the highpriest of all our newspaper columnists when it comes to real writing ability, expresses my thought about "Llncle" Joe and his folks better than anyone else. He says that the fact that Russia is killing more Germans by far than anyone else, doesn't settle the question of whether they are right or wrong in their acts, their philosophies. "Murder," said Theodore Roosevelt, "is not debatable." Neither is theft, says Quillen, and no sophistry can justify or excuse Russia's treatment of little, helpless countries. The Russians are ou,r allies. We admire their coirrage, their (Continued on Page 10)

But to every American who believes in freedom and ihe right of peoples to govern themselves and be free from harm, Stalin's policies are unspeakably evil. I don't believe Quillen will get any arguments about that. Stalin is going to do what he wants to, regardless, ,and the right of other peoples to be free and govern themselves, doesn't enter into hispolicies * * *

A commissioned army officer ran loose with a pistol and killed several innocent people recently, because of jealousy. Newspaper reports from his home town state that before he went into the army he had been convicted of larceny, arrested various times for drunkenness, and at the time he was inducted into the service he was in jail serving a sentence for vagrancy. Yet a man of this alleged background Was a lieutenant T "lt armed forces.

The annual report of the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Company gives some tax figures that you probably wouldn't believe if you hadn't just got through a seance gf that sort yotiiself. Here are the figures for this corporation: for every telephone in service they paid $19.07 taxes in 1943; for each outstanding share of their common stock the tax bill wa's $19.07 for the year, as compared to the $6.25 per share the stockholders got; their total tax bill in 1943 was 38 per cent higher than in the previous year; the tax bill amounted to more than one-half the total payroll for the year, and the payroll was up 16 per cent over the previous year. "Deep in the heart of taxes" should be their theme song.

Now we start payin* In.*.ulr"nced postal rates. .The increased rates on regrilar mail is needed to pay for the ever-increasing "penalty mail." P,enalty mail is what they call that mail sent free by the various branches of our bureaucracy, and not to be confused with "franked mail,'l which is sent free by Congress. In the fiscal year, 1943, the postoffice handled free 1,956,000,000 pieces of this "penalty mail;" and it keeps growing steadily in spite of all the talk of paper shortage. In the same year there were 29,248,000 pieces .of "franked mail." Much has been said about ways and means for reducing the huge cost of handling.this "penalty mail." No one wants to interfere with the army and navy use of the mails, but it is well known that much saving could be affected by some restriction on the bureaus.

Every boy who wears the uniform of his country has, by that very act, enriched the traditions of the nation, added to the height of every American, and increased our pride so that every one of us utters the word "American" more emotionally than ever before; has made the fag float brighter, better, and with*ad*ded Blory.

Nothing can be grander than a life filled with great and noble thoughts; with brave and honest deeds. Such a life sheds light, 3nd the seeds of truth sown by such great and loyal rnen, bear fruit through all the years to be. To have lived, and labored, and died for the right-nothing can be more sublime.

In the battle of Bull Run'iir'1861, General Be*artl p. Ber a Texan, lay wounded and dying on the slopes 6elow while an officer named Thomas Jackson held.the ridgc abw" i".il the face of charge after charge of the Union forces. T!re1;i dyrng man could see much of this happen, and he criett aloud to the men around him: "There stands Jackson lik+,.: a stone wall! Rally behind the Virginians!" And so was: born the most appropriate nickname ever given a humanl;, belng-"Stonerrall Jackson."

We speak and write much.about our great mbn of Atnlrj:l erica, but not enough about our great women. And wqi:i have been bountifully blessed throughout our history witti sublime characters of the so-called "w€aker sex." In our,to very early days, as an example, we had a President named-::r lJi John Quincy Adams. Students of history all recall thisir fact without an e'ffort. Many could relate his splendid.,i worth. Yet perhaps few of those historians would r"*"-t'it, ber that his wife was a far smarter, brightqr character than, John Quincy. Her name was Abigail. To a great extent'i she hid her light under a bushel. She did not advertisd.H Yet she uras very brilliant ,very wise, very devoted- When,:r her husband was inaugurated President she did not attend':: the ceremony, but remained at home td'shower him with:l her good thoughts. She sent him a letter that very da14iJ And if inspiration is what you seek, read, friend, the word*,il of Abigail Adams to her husband, John Quincy Adam*ti: the day he became President of this nation. If you put it':1 in your scrapbook, you'll find very little there to compare,.,l with it, no matter what else may be there. This is the letter: ***

"My thoughts and my meditations are with you, though personally absent; and my petitions to heaven are that the things that make for peace may not be hidden from your eyes. My feelings are not those.of pride or ostentation upon .i? the occasion. They are solemnized by a sense of the obli. ',.9 gations, the important trusts, the numerous duties connected with it. That you may be enabled to disclarge them. i, with honour to yourself, with justice and impartiality to ,;, your country, and with satisfaction to this great people,:;.i shall be the daily prayer of your, Abigail Adams.,' * *'*

Our history contains no words more inspiring than "myl:q petitions to heaven are that the things that make for peace,,-i may not be hidden from your eyes." '* * *

How sad it is to reflect that women whose thoughts,., and words denote only appalling mediocrity write so copi- ;; ously and insistently; while a vroman like Abigail Adamq i whose thoughts were gems of deli'ght and whose words j

were pearls of great price, wrote so little.

In Port Security Regiment

When the San Francisco Regiment of the Volunteer Port Security Force, United States Coast Guard, Temporary Reserve, was formed in June, last year, Miss Lois V. Darrow, West Oregon Lumber Company, San Francisco, enrolled. She attended the first Coast Guard Training Institute for women and was inducted into the Regiment as a seaman, first class, in September. She was promoted to yeoman, third class, in October and was advanced td yeoman, second class, in February, 1944.

She works five nights a week in Regimental headquarters where she is in charge of the staff of a special division of the Force. There is no remuneration for this military service, but both men and women are completely uniformeci by the United States government. Enrollment is for thc duration. Her work with the Regiment has been highly commended by her superior officers, and by the District Coast Guard Office.

The San Francispo Regiment, commanded by Commander Roy C. Ward, was the first organized in California, where four regiments are now functioning. There are seventeen such organizations in the United States.

Miss Darrow has been associated with the West Coast lumber industry for a good many years both in Washington and California.

Lumber Merchants Spring Meeting Big Success

The Spring Meeting of the Lumber .Merchants Association of Northern California, held at the Palace Hotel, San Francisco, March 18, was a decided success from every poin'r of view.

Attendance at the luncheon and the afternoon session numbered 200, and 350 sat dou'n to dinner in the evening. The big attraction in the evening was the speech of Fulton Lewis, Jr., o{ Radio Station WOL, Washington, D. C., on the subject "Inside of Washington, D.C." Many ladies were present at the dihner, and the hearty applause given the speaker indicated that everybody had a very pleasant and interesting evening.

Ray Clotfelter, W. R. Spalding Lumber Co., Visalia, president of the Association, presided at both sessions and turned the meetings over to Charles Shepdrd, Friend & Terry Lumber Co.,'Sacramento, who did a capable job as master of ceremonies.

James Musatti, manager of the California State Chamber of Commerce, made the first a.ddress of the afternoon. He spoke on "The Constitution," and it can be said that this was the best talk most of those present ever heard on this subject. The speaker has for many years made a deep study of this great document.

S. V. Fullaway, secretary-nianager of the Western Pine Association, Portland, talked on "Civilian Lumber Supply For 1944." With an estimated production this year. of 33 billion feet, boxing and crating needs estimated at 16 b;l-

lion feet, or about half of the production, and heavy demands for rvar, the speaker said indications are there will be less lumber for civilian use.

Mr. Fullalvay told of the trade promotion, research, an-d forest conservation work being carried on by his Association.

D. C. McGinness, regional director, Federal Housing Administration, made an interesting address on "The FHA After The War." In the course of his talk he said it was ,his personal opinion that there will be no relaxation on the restrictions on building materials until the'coming invasion of Western Europe is an accomplished success.

R. T. Titus, director of trade extension, West Coast Lumbermen's Association, Seattle, assdred the retail lumber dealers that the lumber manu{acturers of the Pacific Northwest are thinking about the days ahead after the war. Part of this planning is the effort they are making in assisting the dealers in the establishment of Home Planning Institutes. He explained the plan, which was originally put. into -operation in Portland.' and said that Institutes have been established in 15 other districts. several of which are in Southern California.

Plcrns Completbd For Wood Chemiccrl Co.

Architects & Engineers Smith, Herschman & Grylls, Inc., Detroit, Mich. have completed ptans and will recommend to the lVar Production Board the use of a 3o-acre -tract of land in Springfield, Ore., as the site of the proposed $3,600,000 plant, consisting of 19 buildings, of th.e Willamette Valley Wood Distillation Co. (firm name to be changed to Wood Chemical Co.), Chas. A. Snellstrom, president, and Orville Miller, vice-president. The proposed plant will produce alcohol, rubber, plastics, yeast proteins for feeds and other by-products from waste wood. A railroad siding 1,500 feet in length will run through the center of the building plot.

R. E. lrwin, \(/eyerha€ussr Pine Executive, Just Wonderin' Now a Resident of Los Angelcs

R. E. Irwin, who has been associated with the Weyerhaeuser interests for nearly 50 years, retired recently and is now making his home in Los Angeles. He is widely known throughout lumber circles and is regarded as one of the best posted Pine men in the industry.

Mr. Irwin. familiarly known as "Jack" has had an interesting, colorful career which brought him in contact with practically every phase of lumber production and distribution. He began as a water boy in Wisconsin where he ran the gamut of jobs in the woods and sawmill. Later he held important positions in Minnesota operations before he came West with C. A. Smith to become manager of the mill as Coos Bay in 1912, a position which he held until he became sales manager of the Boise-Payette Lumber Company.

When the Weyerhaeusers rvere modernizing the big White Pine mill at Potlatch, Idaho, Mr. Irwin was made assistant to the general manager, A. W. Laird. When Mr. Laird passed away Mr. Irwin became general manager. During his regime many improvements were made in the mill in order to reduce production costs and irnprove the product. Additions included dry kilns, stackers and unstackers, dry sorter, remanufacturing plant, box factory, dry sheds. It rn'as said that he could operate anv machine in mill or rvoods and that his knowledge of Pine grading was seldom questioned.

Mr. Irwin's Pine experience took him to the Atlantic Coast in 1932 where he *'as put in charge of Pine sales for Weyerhaeuser's Eastern Distributing Yards. He maintained headquarters in Newark, New Jersey, up to the time of his recent retirement.

I wonder, little Jack and Jill, When one sets out to climb a hill, If climbing upward from the town Is easier than coming down. And when one stands upon the crest, Shou.ld he stay there, content'to rest, Or should he go down there and then To mingle with his fellow men?

I wonder at opinions now, And by what means we get them, And when we harvest quite a few, Why we so soon forget them. I wonder if the ones I hold Are worth the space they fill, Or in the minds of wiser folk Are simply rated nil.

I wonder how lo.ng, long ago, In neolithic days, The puny races of mankind Pursued their devious ways. They surely knew both fear and wantHow other could it be, When grotesque monsters stalked the land And swam the ancient sea.

I wonder if the lust for power May lie inherent in us all, If sometimes even you and I Hear its intriguine siren call And think we hear far voices too, Engaged in animated talk, Which bids us neither sit nor stand But up and walk.

A.

Mr. Irwin made a host of friends during his 55 yeprs in the lumber industry. His rugged health, genial disposition and sense of humor never failed him. He is a golf enthusiast and played in the low.S0s for years. His friends can reach him through the Los Angeles office of the Weyerhaeuser Sales Company where he will maintain contacts. After more than half a century in lumbering Mr, Irwin finds it necessary to keep in touch with what is going on,

His Decision

Two backwoodsmen knocked at the door of another backwoodsman. When he opened the door, one of them said to him:

"Hello, Ed. We. corne across the dead body of a man over there in the hollow, and we thought maybe it was you."

"That so? What did he look like?"

"Well, he was about your build."

"Have on a flhnnel shirt?"

"Yep."

"Wearin' knee or hip boots?"

"Let's see. Which was they, Charlie? Oh, yes, I recall. They was hip boots."

"Hip boots, eh?" said the man in the door, thoughtfully. "Nope. It wasn't me."

Prelimincrry Bound

My drive was strong and my drive was long, And I placed it exactly right, And my brassie, too, through the ozone flew, As straight as an arrow's flight. My lie was mean, but I pitched the green And almost hit the pin, And r0ith eyes half-shut, I tapped my putt And I watched it trickle in !

For the Living

I would rather have one pleasant word In kindness said to me, Than flattery when my heart is still And life has ceased to be.

I'd rather have a'loving smile, From friends f know are true, Than tears shed 'round my casket,' When this world I've bid adieu.

So, bring me all my flowers, today, Pink, yellow, white or red, I'd rather have one blossom now. Than a truckload when I'm dead.

A Wise Reprimcnd

The current Infantry Journal tells a swell story about' ; how a wise colonel taught a careless soldier a le_sson in :; military courtesy. It says that an enlisted man passed a '.,.1 lieutenant colonel in the Medical Corps on the street, looked"'r him right in the eye but failed to salutc. The colonel called , the soldier back, and instead of eating him up for breach of discipline, he said:

"Soldier, I saw you walking down the street toward me' and I thought 'Here's''another chance for me to salute a' fellow soldier.' I wanted to salute you because I think we are the best army in the world, arid I'm proud oI every one of my fellow soldiers. But you didn't salqte me, and it hurt just a little bit. You're not ashamed of being a soldier in ou.r arrny, are you?"

It took the soldier's breath away. After a moment he said: "Just a moment,'Sir."'He walked back about twenty feet, turned arotrnd and came back, and gave the colonel a swell military salute, fashed a grin, and said: "Thank you, sir."

Order L-33S---Lumber Consumers' l'.'Requiiements

This order requires large lumber consrlmers of lumber to file appljcation with the War Production Board stating their requirements for the second and third quarters of L944 and prohibits them from receiving lumber a{ter April 25, 1944, unless they file their applications. These applications will be used by the War Production Board as a basis for authorizing the applicants to receive lumber, during part of the second and all of the third quarters, under procedures which r,l'ill replace existing procedures under other 'orders. These procedures will be described in a later" revision of this order.

Class 1 Consumer" means any person rvho either received more than 50,m0 boarcl feet of lumber during the last quarter of 1943 or expects that he rn'ill need to receive more than 50,000 board feet of lumber during either the second or third quarters of 1944, for all pur,poses, except :

(I) Operations for r,vhich producers have been assigned serial numbers under Order P-56 (regarding mines and smelters) ;

(II) Operations directly incident to the discovery, development, or'depletion of a petroleum pool as authorized by Petroleum Administrative Order l1;

(III) Resale by a sarvmill or distributor;

(IV) Use outside the 48 states and the District of Columbia; and

(V) Construction jobs which have been expressly authorized by the War Production Board. or by any other Federal agency whose authorization makes it unneces-

sary to get permission from the War Production Board for construcfion. This exception does not include those conr struction jobs which do not require the permission of the War Production Board or any Federal agency under Order L-41.

This order for the present in no way affects the manner in which lumber is controlled under other lumber orders and particularly Orders L-218, L-29{l., M-361 and M-364. In other "vords, except for "Class 1 Consurners" all transactions in lumber will continue to be handled as if this order did not exist. Even'"Class Consumers" can make purchase5 and arrange for -delivery of lumber in compliance rvith other applicable orders provided their applications on Form WPB-3640 are filed with the W3r Production Board by April 25,1944. Before the end of the second quarter this order will be amended and new procedures will be established under which all consumers will be authorized to receive lumber.

Form WPB-3640 for use in filing applications under this order may be obtained at any War Production Board district office.

Meet the New President of the Wcst Coast Lumb ermen's Association

Dean Johnson--Busy Man

By Arthur \fl. Priaulx

In selecting Dean Johnson, Portland and Toledo, Oregon lumberman as president at the January 28 annual meeting, the West Coast Lumhermen's Association, picked one of the organization's busiest members, the head of the C. D. Johnson Lumber CorPoration since 1941.

During these war Yeals' not only has this comPany remarkably held up its lumber production from'the large Toledo mill. but in addition it has fabricated wooden barges for the U. S. ArrnY, patrol craft for the U.' S. Navy, and is now engaged in consiru'ction of prefabricated sections of hospital hutments for use in war areas. Johnson thinks the lumber industry has a real opportunity to further refine its output in the post-war years and believes in doing it right out here in the West at the sawmiils.

'At the age of SO-Dean Johnson was born January, 1895-he has had thirty years of lumbering experience from small "gyppo" mills in southeastern Missouri, to the large Toledo property. He was born at New Lewisville, Arkansas, within earshot of a sawmill, which his father C' D' Johnson operated. He spent his boyhood in and around bt. Louis, attending Smith Academy, and later went to Cornell, but quit to take over the operation of a 2,000-acre cotton plantation. Part of the land was forest covered, so Johnson operated three small gyppo mills to cut the logs taken from the land intended for cotton growing' That was in 1914. When World War I came along he quit

sawririlling and logging, joined the army and was sent to . ; officers' school at Fort Sheridan. Graduated as a second ',, lieutenant, he was sent to Camp Gra4t where he was as- i signed to the 20th Engineers, a forestry outfit. He went i overseas with this forestry unit and spent some time in I r the south of France near the SwisE-border getting out lum- '; ber.for use of our trooPs.

After his army experience, he was two years in the steel business at Alliance, Ohio, but again heard the call of thg woods and came west to Toledo where he joined the Pacific Spruce Corporation as vice .president and assistant gery eral manager. In 1935 the firm was reorganized and became the C. D. Johnson'Lumber Corporation, and Dean Johnson was made vice-president and general manager-' a post he held until the passing of his father in May, 1941' when he became president.

In his early years in the west Dean Johnson lived at Tpledo on famed Yaquina Bay, where he was active in the' management and operation not alone of the sawmill prop-. erty but also of the logging and railroad operations of 'the company. His home is now in Portland lt'here the main offices of the company are located, although he generally spends several days each week at the mill.

Dean Johnson has been one of the leaders in the lumber industry in the move to improve private forest land' harvesting methods and management. He is endeavoring to set up in the Lincoln county timber l'roldings of his firm a sustained yield operation. He has a forestry department. under Ross Bowles, a graduate forester' The company has retained title to its cutover lands and those which have been burned are being rehabilitated with hand planting.' This year 100,000 seedlings were planted by high school boys, due to shprtage of manpower. A 500,000 seedling planting program during the next five years is now planned.

The C. D. Johnson firm, is a member of the Willamette

Dean Johnsoa

Valley Tree Farms organization and frequently consults the five foresters with this cooperative group on forestry problems.

The lumber industry has a real opportunity, believes Johnson, to demonstrate its capacity to operate forest lands under private ownership in long range sustained yield forest management operations. Likewise he believes that private enterprise has ari unequalled chance to build on the wonderful war-time development in wood use. Much of this refinement is now on the military secret list, but after the war the research in wood in the field of chemistry, fabrication and manufacturing will be almost limitless, and will be available to private industry. The west coast industry has the rar,r' material and the location on world trade routes, Johnson says, we should be able to furnish the leadership in utilization of ail of the r,r'ood, especially sawmill and logging waste.

Purchases Big Fir Plywood Plant

Announcement has been made by M. D. Tucker, of Portland, Ore., vice-president of Evans Products Company, that he has purchased from Evans the fir plywood plant located .at Lebanon, Oregon, rated one of the largest and most modern plywood plants in the country. Its average annual capacity is 120,000,000 square rfeet, on a fuths-inch basis; actually, in 1942 it produced 127,W,@0 feet of plywood.

Cascades Plywood Corporation has been organized, witlr Mr. Tucker as president, to own and operate the Lebanon plant. Mr. Tucker has been associated with the Evans Products Company of Detroit for the past twenty-four years and was a senior officer in charge of acquisition and construction of many of the plants throughout the country in which various specialties under the Evans traclernark hal'e been manufactured. He was instrumental in the establishment by Evans of the Lebanon plant, which was put into operaiion during 194O, rn'ith Mr. T'ucfter as manager. ' Simultaneously, it was announced jointly by Mr. Tucker and Lawrence Ottinger, president of the United States plywoqd Corporation, that a contract l-ras been signed for the sale of the entire production of Cascades through the distribution facilities of U. S. Plywood, including warehouses being opened by U. S.-Mengel Plywoods, Inc. tascade,s entir€ output will be manufactured and marketed under U. S. Plywood's Weldwood plywood process and brand.

Willamette Valley Lumbermen Meet

. More than 20O members of the Willamette Valley Lumbermen's Association and their wives meeting in the 17th annual convention'and third war-time conference at Eu.gene, Oregon, on March 17th heard leaders in industry and government discuss vital problems affecting lumber and logging.

"The toughest and hardest part of the lumberman's contribution to this war is just ahead," Colonel W. B. Greeley, secretary-manager of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, told the Oregon lumber group. "Our winning of this war calls for deeds beyond duty. We must work as hard as our boys overseas,"

Commenting on the urgent requirements of selective \6ervice which threatens to take many key men in the 26 to 38 year group, Colonel Greeley said: "Keep fighting to hold your skilled key men. Dig up the evidence which selective servi,ce needs, for lumber production must be maintained if victory is won."

U. S. Senator Guy Cordon, recently appointed to succeed the late Senator Charles L. McNary ,made his first public appearan,ce in Oregon before the Willamette Valley lumbermen. "Keep me informed on your problems," he urged lurn,bermen.

Another speaker was Dean Victor P. Morris, dean of the school of business at University of Oregon and chairman of the Oregon State Post-war Readjustment and Development Committee. He told of the problems which would confront industry after the war and what responsibilities industry must assume to insure a smooth working economy.

C. W. Ingham, of the Ingham Lumber Company at Glendal6, was re-elected presideht of the group for the second year. H. J. Cox, secretarv-manager was re-elected for the seventeenth consecuti'r'e year. Other ofificers are: Guy Haynes, LHL Lumber Company, Carlton, vice-president; and Frank A. Graharn, Hills Creek Lumber Company, Jasper, treasurer.

Directors named in,addition to the above are: J. H. Chambers, J. H. Charubers and Son Lumber Company, Cottage Grove; Stewart 'Weiss, West Gate Lumber Company, Sweet Home; T. V. Larsen, Forcia-Larsen Lumber Company, Noti; T. W. Rosborough, Rosboro Lumber Company, Springfield; Kenneth Ford, Roseburg Lumbei Co*pany, Roseburg; and A.A. Lausmann, Tiller Mill and Lumber Company, Medford.
